14. a. Air expands on heating and this would affect the accuracy of the readings. Thus volumes should
be taken at the same temperature (room temperature).
b. No, because there was a further reduction in volume of air after the second heating and cooling.
c. Yes, because the same reading was obtained after third heating and cooling.
d. 20 cm3
e. Nitrogen
f. 20%
g. It changed to copper(II) oxide which is black in colour.
copper + oxygen → copper(II) oxide
h. Heavier. Oxygen in air combined with copper to form copper(II) oxide thus made it heavier.

9. (a) Sodium chloride consists of a giant ionic lattice of Na+ and Cl− ions. Strong ionic bonds have to be
overcome for it to melt. It thus has a high melting point.
(b) Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound with a simple molecular structure. By overcoming the
weak intermolecular forces, the discrete molecules can be easily separated. This accounts for the
low melting point and boiling point. Silicon(IV) oxide, however, is a covalent compound with a
giant covalent structure. The atoms are held in a giant network by strong covalent bonds. To melt
the solid, very many strong covalent bonds have to be broken. This requires a lot of heat energy.
This accounts for the high melting point.
(c) There are only weak van der Waals' forces between N2 molecules. Thus nitrogen has low melting
point and boiling point. Within each N2 molecule, the two nitrogen atoms are joined by strong
triple covalent bond. Therefore it is very difficult to break the molecule into atoms.

(b) The black mixture first heated to red hot, and finally changed into a reddish-brown solid.
25. A metal will be recycled only if it is economical to do so. Gold is very expensive. On the other hand, the
cost of extracting iron from iron ore is low. In comparison, the cost of recycling iron from scrap iron may
be even higher in some cases.
